Topsoil - what is it ?

Good topsoil is a mixture of mineral particles, water, nutrients, organic matter, air and living organisms.
Exact proportions of each are not particularly critical but to constitute a “good” soil it should contain all these elements. Ideally it should conform to the newly revised 'British Standard for topsoil' BS3882:2007

Topsoil is an important component of most landscape projects and to maintain standards the British Standards Institute produced and published BS3882. The first version of the standard was introduced in 1965 and was intended to provide a simple description and classification of topsoil for use in landscape work. Updated in 1994, BS3882:2007, supersedes BS 3882:1994 and is the third edition of the Specifications for Topsoil
